HDTV Listings for August 16, 2009 {Engadget HD}
Aug 16th 2009 8:16PM Can someone clue me in to the big fuss over Mad Men? After hearing it hyped up, I buckled down to watch the first four episodes and I don't get it. It's rather dull - I expected a show about a bunch of ad guys to have some wittier, snappier dialogue.

Aug 13th 2009 5:40PM Excuse me if I sound ignorant, but video codecs always confuse me. What does this mean for DivX/XviD support? Confirmed no?
Watch Mega Man and Iron Man duke it out in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 {Joystiq}
Jul 21st 2009 3:05AM Wow, that Iron Man "strategy" video is awful. The narrator talks about several moves, but the video doesn't actually display them. Then for an added bonus, it's flat out wrong when it says that Iron Man only has the one hyper combo, the Proton Cannon. Iron Man also has the deluge of rockets that shoot straight up and rain pain on his rival's head. I can't now recall the name of it, but it was quarter circle down-back + KK.
Christian bloggers protesting fake EA protest {Joystiq}
Jun 13th 2009 2:22AM So just to get this straight:
First there was news that a bunch of uptight Christian zealots were protesting a video game, so a lot of folks here mocked and insulted them.
Now it turns out that the protest was entirely fake and capitalized on negative stereotypes of Christians, who are currently expressing indignation at being unfairly characterized that way. And in fact some of those Christians run a website where they talk about how much they actually like games like Dante's Inferno and God of War. And a lot of folks here are mocking and insulting them.
At least you guys are consistent.
ESPN adds Rose Bowl, to go along with the rest of the BCS games starting in 2011 {Engadget HD}
Jun 12th 2009 8:23PM According to the Press Release:
"The 2011 BCS schedule will mark the first time BCS bowls will be featured on cable television..." meaning on ESPN, and not ABC. If you had hit the "Read" link, you would have seen that.

HDTV Listings for April 29, 2009 {Engadget HD}
Apr 29th 2009 5:26PM It's sweeps week and this is the fourth time Obama has commandeered the airwaves, so Fox exercised its prerogative to take a pass on broadcasting the press conference. These Presidential PR sessions cost the networks ad revenue and Obama has had a habit of going on TV without an urgent significant event underway (IE invading a country; 100 days is a Hallmark holiday of politics).

Cox follows Comcast down the data discrimination road {Engadget HD}
Jan 29th 2009 2:18PM This is great. Now people who need bandwidth for time-sensitive activities like gaming (clutch) or streaming Netflix aren't completely impeded by neighbors downloading gigs and gigs of Windows 7 or pirated movies. If just adding more bandwidth is prohibitively expensive, this is the best solution. Everybody's worried about the day that Google pays Cox to slow down Yahoo - let's wait until that day arrives to start bitching about it.
